following: sugarbaby's own diet
performance: losing 3.4 lb a week

I'm a 33 year old college student and mother. I lost 85 pounds 5 years ago which brought my weight down to the lowest it had ever been-100 lbs! I'm really short so I wore it well. I was both scared and excited. I was excited because I felt wonderful. I was scared because I didn't know how I lost the weight and I was terrified that the weight would slowly start to come back at some point. It did. I kept the weight off for 3 years, but over the last 2 years, I've gained ALL of those pounds back.

I made the commitment 3 years ago to get my weight under control. I tried EVERYTHNG! I wasn't able to stop the weight gain so eventually I became overweight again. Being a single mother is hard enough. Being a student as well puts monumental strain on my time so cooking and exercise takes a tremendous effort. But right now, I'm willing to do all that's necessary. So here goes everything!

My Ravenous Teens Are Eating All My Food!
Boy am I there right now! I have one teenage son and a 10 year old daughter who eats like a teenage boy. My baby girl eats almost nothing so she's nothing to worry about.

When my son isn't playing video games, he's eating...A LOT! I'm a single mother so I can't afford to go to the store every day, so I do make some things off limits. For other foods, I'm really emphasizing the value of saving some food for everyone else in the house. So now my kids are in the habit of asking before they eat the last of anything. It's really helped save my grocery bill and my sanity!

Kids are gonna eat what they're gonna eat and I am not the type of mother to deprive my kids of food. Mindless eating is not a big concern of mine because they are all healthy weights. I see nothing wrong, however, with having a stash for myself, or to make it known up front that certain things are for me, not a free for all! They're good kids so they are very compliant.

I'm rambling, but the bottom line is sometimes setting boundaries is a good thing and the kids will take it in stride. Hope this helps some!
